The captions were funny.

Seem a few launches from Vandenburg Air Base, in CA.

The launch looked like a rocket launch. The landing of the booster was the most amazing thing I think I've ever seen. It was some real Hollywood sci-fi looking stuff. Just incredible.

My jaw literally dropped when the engines cut off and it just hung there.

Last night I was interested in how KOAA, a local (Colorado Springs) station whose news is only slightly better than some millennial's TikTok feed, would cover it.

It didn't even make the cut. A couple previously broadcast stories and the nightly "fact check" of Trump (always found to be false) were more important I guess.

I was stunned that it wasn't even mentioned.

An incredible engineering feat. Props to Space X.

I did notice that the one generic youtube feed covering the launch was a bit coin doubling scheme.

Talk about burying the lead... the landing/catch was far more remarkable than the launch. Just another feather that "couldn't be done" in the cap of SpaceX. Crazy how many things they've done now that weren't possible previously.

One of the best videos of the landing I've seen:
